The Company                           Virtual Tour

Located at the West Central Cooperative headquarters in Ralston, Iowa,  West Central  processes soybeans in a $40 million manufacturing complex.  West Central is a full service, farmer owned cooperative with approximately 3,500 members.

 

In an effort to add value to locally produced soybeans, West Central has developed several products to fulfill needs in various industries.  From SoyPOWER, a soy-based biodiesel product, to SoyPLUS^® and SoyChlor^®, dairy nutritional ingredients, West Central has earned a solid reputation as the leader in the production of top quality, value-added soy products. 

 

Furthermore, West Central’s staff is committed to carrying on this tradition through continued research and development, experimentation of soy processing for new products, and innovatively tailoring existing products for new uses.

SoyPLUS^® is a patented, heat-processed, all-natural soybean meal for livestock rations.  SoyPLUS^® delivers 60% rumen bypass in dairy rations and has become known as "the gold standard of dairy feed ingredients" because of its outstanding consistency and palatability.  It is available worldwide through a network of distributors and feed dealers.

SoyChlor^® is a palatable source of chloride for the close-up dry dairy cow.  This product provides maximum DCAD performance in your transition cow program.
